Hey did you know that io9 and Kotaku are having their 2nd Annual Cosplay Ball in 12 days? It is an event that is held in conjunction with New York Comic Con which this year runs October 5-8. It’s the 2nd annual because there was one last year. Here’s the coverage that io9 and Kotaku gave it last year:

It’s always good to see io9 and Kotaku cooperating together (some of their staff do literally work out of the same building!). Hat tip to io9 and Kotaku’s Facebook pages for advertising the event on their upcoming eventspages; it’s good that the unnamed social media staff are keeping track of things!

Update 2: ~1745 Kinja time, 10 October. About seven or so hours after some pictures were uploaded to io9's Facebook page, io9 posted a post-event article which was primarily ... those pictures. As of ~1600 Kinja time on 12 October, neither Kotaku nor Cosplay.Kotaku had shared that article.

Update 3: 2137 Kinja time, 1 January. I forgot to check up on this. Back in early December, Studio@Gizmodo, which is one of the places on the Gizmodo Media Group wherein sponsored content can be hosted, published a post from Kraken Rum about the Cosplay Ball.
